NCT ID NCT05258071

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a drug called pirepemat can reduce how often people with Parkinson's disease fall. Participants take the drug or a placebo for 84 days and record falls in a diary. The study includes people aged 55–85 who have had at least two falls in the past month. If it works, pirepemat could offer a new way to manage a common and dangerous symptom of Parkinson's.
